Margrail Duel School (A Yu-Gi-Oh RP)

[The Red Seelie]

Margrail Duel School

Welcome to the Margrail Duel School, a school for dueling situated in the modern Margrail city. It has many facilitys for your dueling needs such as a large indoor arena, equipped for both action and regular duels alike and while the rather moderately sized school is not equipped to handle action duels, there is a special course third year students can take as they are likely of legal age, that allows them to ride the real thing in the stadium through school sponsoring in order to raise the next generation of turbo duelists.

Interest check

Greetings everyone, this is an interest check for a YU-GI-OH RP, it will be structured similarly to GX, with the main focus being on Action and Standard Duels, with preference I prefer that decks be able to pull of spectacular things, while also not being too repetitive in what they are doing, In that regard certain archetypes and cards will have to be banned in order to better level the playing field as well as foster creativity.

Custom Cards
Custom cards will be allowed for this role play, however customs will be thoroughly moderated in order to maintain a fair playing field. Do not take this as a means to overflow it with customs. Secondly creating cards that are direct improvements over existing cards in the same archetype are simply going to be denied unless good reasoning is applied to why it would need to exist.

Ban list
All cards currently banned in the TCG and OCG, the same is true for limits and semi limits.
All cards that fall under the numbers jurisdiction [i] This is due to the fact that the numbers are either Astrals memories (1 - 100) or the barian numbers (over 100) which puts them in limited supply and thus makes it basically impossible for them to be in the hands of our characters.
Signer Dragons and their subsequent Evolutions. Black Rose, Stardust, Fairy Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, Black-Winged Dragon and Life Stream Dragon. This also include manga signer dragons like Beelze.
Ultimaya Tzolkin and Baalbakin. This is because they are effectively god deitys
The Pieces of Exodia (purely because Auto winconditions are unfun to rp against)
Yubel and her evolutions. (In terms of the anime Yubel is the guardian of the sacred king and due to also being a spirit of how power It is again unlikely anyone else would possess it, so she is banned)
The Seal of Orichalchos (obvious reasons)
The Egyptian Gods They wouldn't be in the possession of anyone in the school
The Sacred Beasts Only one of each exists and they were return to their original location
The Wicked Gods Again, Impossible for it to be in any person in the schools possession
The Evil Planets. This includes the Tripper Mercury etc. These are also unlikely to be in the hands of anyone in the school due to the extremely limited supply

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask
More information such as uniform appearance and school layout will be featured in the IC if this gains more traction.

IC is now up.

[Suku]

you got my interest charak lol

[The Red Seelie]

-added information on a banlist.

[Ammokkx]

Charak are you trying to one up me

charak pls

No but seriously though, didya think this through at all? Because I sure didn't think DT through and I find it a miracle that it's still (barely) breathing.

[The Red Seelie]

@Ammokkx

Not attempting to one up at all Ammokkx, simply a change of perspective in setting. Since this is less of an elitist school located in the middle of god nowhere and more of a school thats more communal and is generally more accessible to basically anyone with moderate education that doesn't have the added problem of the isolation of living in what is effectively a rats nest.

Secondly, I have thought this one over and I believe I can handle any initially high influx of custom cards and questions that may arise. I simply just wished for another Yugioh rp on the side.

...

If this RP even garners any attraction at all.

[Feyblue]

Ooh. I haven't gotten the chance to join a YGO RP yet. This might be fun!

I'll just pre-emptively call dibs on Gustos, although I might change out and make my own custom archetype if I feel particularly motivated. Question, though - how many card types are we including? Because I haven't been keeping up on the new rulesets since around the time Pendulums came out, so I need to know how much research I'll have to do. :P

[The Red Seelie]

@Feyblue

I believe for now (mostly due to the complete shifting of cards and the butchering of pendulums which can be quite creative at times (other times completely disgusting, but I digress). We will remain in the pendulum era prior to links. As that is what most players will be familiar with.

Nice choice of Gusto mind you. Wind is pretty strong in the synchro department after all.

[Feyblue]

@1Charak2Ehehe. Sadly, I won't be able to re-create my usual strategy of Stardust Dragon spam since that's Yusei's thing, but I can always create a replacement custom trademark card for my character. :D

@Feyblue

*At least its not Crystal Wing Spam*

You could in theory just use Reeze combined with say... the level 1 windwitch bell to produce a Sphreeze that can't die to card effect or battle and basically wins all fights due to her effect. That to me seems a bit more epic then spewing forth a million monsters.

[Feyblue]

Eh, I liked using Sphreeze to stall, but she wasn't my main monster. I mostly alternated between Stardust and Hyper Psychic Blaster with Assault Mode cards, because I love Assault Modes. It wasn't an amazingly effective deck, but it was just a lot of fun. :D

@Feyblue

Understandable. After all fun should be the priority of the game, also if I may ask if you know anyone else that may be interested as we do need a few more to get this ball to begin rolling after all. I'd say about two more would be enough for a small group.

[Feyblue]

@1Charak2Unfortunately not. T_T I only recently started actually RPing here, so I don't really know too many people. Sorry.

[The Red Seelie]

Oh well, glad to have you onboard anyway. The more the merrier. I guess for now we just wait to see if more people bite. @Feyblue

[Hammerman]

That feel when you want to join but you only like to watch the anime and you don't know how to play the game itself.

[Feyblue]

...Speaking of how the game actually works, how will we end up handling the duels, anyway? Will we just use some kind of online dueling program and play them out that way, or just write up bullshit based on our decks so everyone always has the perfect card to "NOT SO FAST!" with?

[Hammerman]

If I RP this, I'll end up making up shit as I go along with a bunch of cards I make myself. I'm most interested in building a unique themed deck after all.

[KOgaming]

Might be interested- with some questions.

When you say Utopia, do you mean all the Numbers? Do you mean just Manga Numbers that have influence from the wielder? Or the Anime numbers that are Astral's memories? What about the Number monsters that have been in neither the anime nor the manga such as Crooked Cook?

When you say Synchro Dragon, do you mean dimension dragons? Are Supreme King Servant Clear Wing, Clear Wing Fast Dragon, or White Wing Magician (a Synchro Dragon by effect) Synchro Dragons?

I guess I could see someone turboing out jolkin with instant fusion, shipwreck of Theseus, twin triangle dragon, and topological bomber dragon but generally I don't feel like he's going to do much damage post-links. Even so, would Bishbalkin count too? What about the Earthbound Immortals?

Also can you r8 this?

...Speaking of how the game actually works, how will we end up handling the duels, anyway? Will we just use some kind of online dueling program and play them out that way, or just write up bullshit based on our decks so everyone always has the perfect card to "NOT SO FAST!" with?

@Feyblue

I believe the viable method for this is simply attributing numbers to cards in the deck and then using a random number generator in order to 'draw' the cards, I mean you can in some cases use the 'NOT SO FAST' scenario, but over usage of it kinda stales the epicness of the feat. (not everyone can just spam the heart of the cards like a protagonist). So for all intensive purposes. The latter is likely going to be a very rare scenario in of its self.

If I RP this, I'll end up making up shit as I go along with a bunch of cards I make myself. I'm most interested in building a unique themed deck after all.

@Hammerman

Well, As long as you make those cards before you duel and not pull a 'I produce the winning card right here right now' Then sure I am okay with this.

Might be interested- with some questions.

When you say Utopia, do you mean all the Numbers? Do you mean just Manga Numbers that have influence from the wielder? Or the Anime numbers that are Astral's memories? What about the Number monsters that have been in neither the anime nor the manga such as Crooked Cook?

When you say Synchro Dragon, do you mean dimension dragons? Are Supreme King Servant Clear Wing, Clear Wing Fast Dragon, or White Wing Magician (a Synchro Dragon by effect) Synchro Dragons?

I guess I could see someone turboing out jolkin with instant fusion, shipwreck of Theseus, twin triangle dragon, and topological bomber dragon but generally I don't feel like he's going to do much damage post-links. Even so, would Bishbalkin count too? What about the Earthbound Immortals?

@KOgaming

Alright questions first before I go away to judge this archetype on a card by card basis. Firstly, by numbers I mean any monster that is under the number specification. Such as Number 11 Big eye. And even Number 101 Silent Honor Ark. It does not matter if it is an Astral or a Barian number. They are simply not allowed due to the reasoning behind the cards being one of a kind or only existing within certain peoples possessions.

Right okay I believe I wasn't clear on the second one. But all dimension dragons that constitute the fragments of Z-ARC are banned. So that means any Odd-eyes above the original odd-eyes. All varients of Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. All Varients Of Clear Wing. and All Varients of Starve Venom. (along with Supreme Dragon Z-ARC being banned of course).

The Magicians that represent the dragons could be allowed to slide. However Chronograph and Astrograph Sorceror are banned as well due to being the composites required to summon the supreme king. (and while I am here I might as well ban any Supreme king support such as the servants and the gates)

To answer your third point. The original variant of Earthbound Immortals is banned for obvious reasons invovling soul consumption and general in universe limits on how many copies of them actually exist. Secondly Baalbakin falls under the same thing as Ultimaya and as such is also banned to the players.

Also to clarify by what I meant by Synchro dragons. I believe I was referring to Stardust, Black rose, Black-Winged Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, Fairy Dragon and Life stream (not power tool).

I guess I'll refine the list to better explain this.

[Hammerman]

Well, As long as you make those cards before you duel and not pull a 'I produce the winning card right here right now' Then sure I am okay with this.

@1Charak2

Ah nice, I probably will do that. So I have to send my deck to you first for approval.

_{I'll probably end up being that scrub character who always loses.}

@KOgaming

Going over the monsters and the cards in generally. It appears that the archetypes theme seems to be all over the place. It is a battle orientated archetype yet it has low stats. Also some of the effects such as spell, the promoter and all of the xyz monsters bar dragon seem to be a little too strong in what they are attempting to do. Perhaps reduce the overall search and the potency of some of the effects. While also increasing the attack of the monsters. Might seem to work.

Otherwise I cannot accept this archetype as it currently is.
